Frequently Asked Questions

Shelf life

We make all our products fresh by hand, using fresh produce, and add no preservatives or additives. A natural fermentation process will start from the day of production, and speed up once a bottle is opened and exposed to oxygen. Bottles should be kept cold and refridgerated at all times, before and after opening. We put a month shelf life from day of bottling on all bottles, but recommend that they are consumed within two weeks once opened. The fresher the better!

Refrigeration

For maximum shelflife and freshness, we recommend that all bottles are refrigerated at all times, before and after opening, at normal fridge temperature. The fermentation process will happen a lot quicker if the shots are exposed to warmer temperatures, and if the temperature of the fridge changes alot.

Variations in color & flavor

We always work with fresh ingredients and do not add any preservatives, colourants or other regulators that would make all bottles identical. Therefore, there might be slight variations in taste and color of the ginger shots from one batch to another. Young ginger has a slightly milder taste than more mature ginger, honey has its own distinct flavor depending on flowers and season, and lemons also vary in flavor depending on farm and season. We are ok with that, and we hope you are too :) The recipe always stays the same- guaranteed!

Benefits of ginger shots?

Ginger is among the healthiest (and most delicious) spices on the planet! It is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have great benefits for your body and brain. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which may relieve nausea, muscle pain and soreness, as well as drastically lower blood sugars, cholesterol and improve heart disease risk factors (just to mention some!). The other ingredients used in our ginger shots (fresh lemons, raw honey, ground organic turmeric and red fresh chilli) also each come with a list of health benefits.
